Is Logain the Dragon Reborn?

In the universe of Wheel Of Time, Dragon Reborn is a powerful male or female champion who is destined to save humanity but also has the power to destroy it. Logain played by Álvaro Morte claims to be the Dragon Reborn, however by the end of episode 4 Moiraine (Rosamund Pike) identifies him as the False Dragon. However, during his battle with Aes Sedai, Alanna Mosvani (Priyanka Bose) of the Green Ajah wonder if he was truly the Dragon Reborn, as he demonstrated more power compared to other False Dragons.

Even though Logain is a powerful channeller his powers are still inferior compared to the real Dragon Reborn. Based on what is mentioned in the books, Moiraine is currently the show’s strongest character, and even she wouldn’t be able to hold her own in a one-on-one fight with Logain.
